A woman has told how her choice of attire for her younger sister’s wedding day has caused a huge rift between the pair. After showing her 23-year-old sister the dress she was planning on wearing at her wedding, the day before the event, the 28-year-old said her sister had referred to it as 'gorgeous', leaving her excited to wear it on the day. However, when she turned up at the event, her sister was less than impressed at the revealing dress.

She said: “The dress was this little black dress with a little bit of sparkles and a corset. When I arrived to the reception she was a little stunned and came up to me saying something along the lines of 'oh wow I didn’t know you were actually gonna wear it' and then just laughed, but I could see by her face that she had a problem with it.”

After noticing her sister giving her strange looks throughout the day, she continued: “During the wedding I saw her talking to some people and then at one point they all just stared at me and gave me a nasty a** look.” She also admitted that her sister hadn’t been the same towards her since the day, leading to her posting her wedding woe on Reddit to see what other readers thought of the sartorial situation. She said: “I honestly don’t think I did anything wrong and think she was overreacting, especially since she literally approved of the dress. I don’t know why she changed her mind so fast.”

After showing a picture of her strapless dress in the comments, which had a long slit on one side to the top of her thigh, many were quick to respond: “The slit makes it very much inappropriate for a wedding. Had it been a full body-con dress, with no slit, I'd be able to support,” said one, while another reader, clearly shocked by her choice commented: “Wow – does anyone think that dress is OK for a wedding? I'm older so not good at judging these things, but that dress looks to me like something someone would wear to a club when they were looking to get lucky as fast as possible.”

Other readers agreed, with one saying: “I think the dress is too much for a wedding, but I also think her sister should have just ignored it and enjoyed her day. It is a beautiful dress and you look gorgeous,” confirmed one, “but for the most part (depending on the time and theme of the wedding) it just crosses the line for appropriate wedding wear.”

One referred to her description of the dress: “You must know that your description of the dress as ‘this little black dress with a little bit of sparkle and a corset’ is, at best, highly misleading. If you were to honestly describe the dress, you would say it was a sparkly strapless black dress with an almost hip-high slit. Your whole a** is at risk of escaping.”
